Japan earthquake an aftershock of 2011 quake

No casualties have been reported but a tsunami warning was in place for Fukushima prefecture, Japan, after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off the east coast. Tsunami advisory notes were in place for several other prefectures. The quake was said to be an aftershock of the 11 March 2011 9.0 magnitude quake, the strongest in Japan on record. The massive tsunami it triggered caused worlds worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl a quarter of a century earlier. Nov 22, 2016
